Re:For those with rebuilt engines!
 

it doesn't have anything to do with getting lucky. it physically only takes a couple mins for the rings to seal.

BTW i put cromoly rings in my integra and they're the hardest to break it... rather than cast rings. and it still only took a couple mins.

Re:For those with rebuilt engines!
 

I was just talking to jeff about this last week. I asked him to post a thread about how to break in an engine and he said he wouldn't because everyone does it different.

What I really love to hear are ricers telling me they are breaking in their USED swapped engine. I guess they think that they get rebuilt when they get shipped from japan.

thats a funny one,if anything you need to rebuild JDM engines, I think the japanese figured they have to get rid of it after 35k, so why not just dog the ---- out of it, so its fully broke.

lol

everyone does do it different...

race car/track car/not daily = 20 mins @ ~2k
daily = 20mins @ ~2k change oil dont rape it for <= 500 miles change oil, now rape!

2k miles is a little overboard...

Get it warmed up. Take it to a long stretch of road or I guess take your front wheels off the pavement and block the back wheels.
Slowly accelerate through the gears shifting at 3000-3500 until you reach 50 mph then let off the gas competely and let the car slow down by itself, downshifting when necessary to keep engine from bogging. Do this to about 20mph and then slowly accelerate upto 50mph again and repeat the whole process like 10 times in a row. Take the car back to your house keeping the rpm low and change the oil while it's still hot. Let the car completely cool down for a good few hours and you'r done.

gimpy knows what he's talking about, and if you don't beleive him, go to www.theoldone.com and read what larry has to say about breaking in an engine, if you say he doesn't know better, then you are a stupid ricer, he also suggests to only use honda oil filters for the first 3k miles, trust me, if it was o.k. to just drive it for 20 mins and rape it, larry would know and he would tell you to do it, but do what you want, but the people that are asking b/c they don't know, follow the tried and true methods if you can't afford to rebuild/replace your engine every 50k miles..........
